Competitive shooting is probably one of the best ways to improve your shooting skills. It encourages shooters to practice regularly and to focus upon their areas of weakness to develop their techniques and raise their scores.
The clubs runs a varied range of competitions across the shooting season and is keen to encourage members to enter the wide range of competitive events staged each year. We have proven that competitive shooting develops an individual's shooting ability with 'personal best' scores noted to increase year-on-year.
